Will you just look at that!!! Without trying my 25th birthday post lands on Day 370. And as you know if you’ve been reading this blog…those are my two favorite numbers. It just makes my heart happy that Jesus worked that out in that manner. 🙂 Anyways today is my 25th birthday! I can’t really believe that I am this many years….young (aka I feel old). I’m so grateful to be turning 25. Thankful for this life I’ve been given. What I’m really excited about is that this birthday isn’t about me. I want it to be much more than that. To start I want to say thank you to my sweet and amazing mother who went through great pain in natural childbirth to bring me into this world. Thank you will never be enough for what you did and have done mom. And even though “they” say that asking for presents for yourself is wrong I’m going to ask anyway. Because while I still have my incredible mother and father in my life the darling orphans in India do not. So today I boldly ask you to give to my kiddos who I love intensely. Would you donate $25 dollars since this is my 25th year? To soar right on past the $75K mark would MAKE MY DAY. In fact I’ll thank you in advance. 😉 Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the people who have already so graciously and generously given. It really delights my heart. Let’s party!
Also to the woman who donated $333…I just want to bear hug you. Thank you!
Happy Birthday, Elaini!!! I hope you have an amazing day!!!!!! Every day, I look to see if you posted. If you did post that day, I always enjoy reading it! Thank you for being such a bright light for Christ and His kingdom!!
Thank you so much! I did have a lovely day. 🙂 And thank you for being such a faithful blog reader and commenter. 🙂 It’s so encouraging!
Happy Birthday Elaini! You are such a treasure and an inspiration. I pray that God may bless you with long life and many joys. I thank God for you on behalf of those precious little ones in India.
And may I say, you and your mother could be twins now that you are older. I might have guessed it was you in that photo if it hasn’t been labeled your baby picture. Too cute!
Thank you Grace! Really appreciate all your support, prayers, and encouragement. 🙂
Well thank you! I think my sweet mum is gorgeous!
That is so really great that someone donated $333! How cool! I hope you have a really spectacular day as you celebrate being 25!!! How exciting! I can see now how you look much like your mom from back then, rather than just how she looks now from your recent post including your parents. That is wonderful that she gave birth to you in general, and really cool that she did it naturally 😉
Happy birthday! May the Lord help you reach your goal!!
I know!!! It blessed my socks off!
Thank you sweet Victoria. I had a beautiful birthday. 🙂
It’s so funny that people think I look like my beautiful mum because I don’t think I look that much like her but wouldn’t mind if I did!
Haha yes, I’m grateful that she had me!
Thank you! And update tomorrow!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Elaini!! I’m blessed by your sweet spirit and love for Jesus. May God bless you to know him in an even deeper way in this coming year.
Thank you so much! I had a delightful birthday! Thank you for your encouragement. 🙂
Happy birthday Elaini! I hope you had an amazing day! Still praying that you reach your goals! 🙂
Thank you and Happy Birthday to you too! I hope you reach your goals too! 🙂
You are welcome! Actually, it was my girls who made the donation. They have a jar in their room which they all three contribute to. When the have a large amount, they have me make the donation since they don’t have credit cards!! We are so pleased to support all you do, you are such an inspiration to my girls.
The $333 ladies. And Happy Birthday! 🙂
Beth THANK YOU! And thank you for leaving a comment. It really made my week and I’ve not stopped thinking about it! What a beautiful gift from your three sweet daughters. I wish I could meet them. They have lovely, generous hearts and you all just gave me the most wonderful gift by joining with me to help those dear darlings in India. <3
I sure do like the $333 ladies. 😀
